A number of beloved breeds are at risk of vanishing as potential owners are being urged to opt for 'lesser-known' dogs.
New figures from 2022 show there are more breeds at risk than ever before, according to the Kennel Club's list of 34 'vulnerable' native British and Irish breeds.
A dog with less than 300 registrations is classed 'vulnerable' and two more breeds have recently fallen into this category - the Miniature Bull Terriers and Bearded Collies. Some of the beloved breeds that could disappear include Welsh Springer Spaniels, Greyhounds, and King Charles Spaniels.
